Love Poem: Dreaming

Dreaming

You and I alone, you slowly close your eyes
As we journey from reality, the dream world presides
I lure you closer with my inexplicable charm
Tell you I love you, enfold you in my arms
Protect you from all harm, becoming all you ever need
Pleasing you immeasurably, the best love you’ve received
Deep in my soul I believe, and you the same
That our love will stand forever never know the meaning of pain
Never will our perspectives change, for in our futures we see
 A love that will last throughout our lives into eternity
In our minds there must be, an image permanently set on you and me
As our bodies lay together, so snug and so tight
 We experience an evening of passion, a night of pure delight
Never beheld by sight, nor heard a single sound
Of a love so powerful, so strong and profound
Just as the rhythm of a single solitary drum
Our hearts slowly begin to beat ever so gently as one
 Our love becomes a song, released by our spirit
Our body controls the rhythm while our soul sings the lyrics
As we reach the climax, you slowly open your eyes
Within a matter of seconds, you begin to realize
You understand that you’re alone and next to you only a pillow lies
Then you begin to hope and pray that this is how we will live our lives
